Favour timeline — who owns each window

StageFavouredWhy
Level 1RyzeRyze pokes safely with Q (Overload) while you have a single ability and no all-in — last-hit and respect his E-Flux into W root.
Level 2CamilleYour Level 2-3 spike gives you Q recast plus a point in E, so you can finally E-in, trade, and punish before his W root recharges.
Level 3CamilleWith Q's true-damage recast and your W outer-edge slash you out-trade him every time his W and E-Flux are on cooldown.
Levels 4-5CamilleYou win every short trade — Tactical Sweep's max-HP damage and self-heal beat his pre-item poke before Rod of Ages comes online.
Level 6Even / skillHextech Ultimatum isolates him from his realm warp, but his W root plus Flash can stall the all-in — it's a skill check, so commit only with summoners up.
First itemEven / skillYour lethality/bruiser plus boots spike trades through his shield and Adaptive Defense before his Tear stacks and Rod of Ages finish — force the all-in now.
Two+ itemsRyzeAt 2+ items Ryze out-scales hard: his shield blanks your Q, his Flux-fed W roots you out of the dive, and realm warp denies the isolation — splitpush and let your lead carry.

Early game (levels 1–5)

Level 1 is his — Ryze can sit back and chip you with Q (Overload) while you have one ability and no all-in, so just last-hit and don't walk into his E-Flux-into-W root. The lane flips the moment you hit Level 2-3: E-in, land your Q, then back off and re-cast Q for the true-damage second hit and the move-speed before his root combo recharges. Bait his W with a held E rather than dashing into it — if your Hookshot gets rooted mid-flight, you lose the whole trade and eat his full Overload follow-up.
